Adani plans to build 5 mtpa LNG terminal in east India

A 5 million-tonne-per-annum LNG import terminal at Mundra in
Gujarat state on the west coast of India, part owned by the Adani Group,
will likely be operational in April or May, a senior company official said on
Wednesday 7 February 2018.

The terminal will have receiving, storage and re-gasification facilities for
liquefied natural gas (LNG) and will be
connected to Gujarat State Petronet's existing pipeline network at Anjaar,
Gujarat.
Construction on the terminal is completed, but Adani is unable to commission
operations due to issues with a 90-km (56-mile) section of pipeline, said
Sarthak Behuria, executive director of the company's LNG and LPG division.

Adani is also planning to build a 5 million-tonne-a-year LNG terminal at Dhamra
on the east coast of India, he told Reuters on the sidelines of an LNG
conference in Bali,
Indonesia.

"We have the approvals and we are tendering out. So it will take three to
four years," he said.

Adani's plans are in line with a broad push in India to more than double the
share natural gas has in the country's energy mix to 15 percent by 2022.

India has four LNG terminals now and imports around 20 million tonnes of the
super-chilled fuel a year, but the government plans to build another 11
terminals over the next seven years.
